3 years agoColorado Rockies reliever Daniel Bard notched his first save of the 2022 campaign on Saturday as his club defeated the Dodgers 3-2. The right-hander was dominant in his 17-pitch frame as he struck out Justin Turner, Edwin Rios, and Cody Bellinger all swinging as he looked in midseason form with his fastball sitting in the 97-98 MPH range. Bard looks like the favorite for saves this season since both Carlos Estevez and Alex Colome worked in front of him in this game, plus he had success in the role in 2021 by recording 20 saves. Bard should be scooped up off waivers wherever available.--Riley Mrack - RotoBaller
